Extension tube for Olympus

[merv]

I see Amazon selling an extension tube for macro for the Olynpus at £6.99! I know there are no electrical contacts so everything is manual but apart from this has anyone any criticism of this kit? Would I be better lashing out and buying the "correct kit" at £160 if theres such a thing? merv

if you want to use an AF lens then yes, otherwise the 6.99 set and an old Zuiko 50mm on an adapter will work very well indeed.
